As reported by The Press, plans from Oakgate City Living Ltd are set to see Tramways Club, in Mill Street, torn down and a block with 35 apartments built on the site.
The developer stated in its application that it would provide much-needed homes ranging from one to three bedrooms in one of York’s most sustainable locations.
But objections have been lodged including from local councillors and York Central MP Rachael Maskell raising concerns about potential harm to the wider area from the development.
Approval of the plans comes after Tramways Club shut in January 2019 following its members’ decision to close it down the previous October.
The brick building on the corner of Mill Street and George Street has stood empty since its closure.
